log(3*x - 7) ------------ log(5)
d /log(3*x - 7)\ --|------------| dx\ log(5) /
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
3 ---------------- (3*x - 7)*log(5)
-9 ------------------ 2 (-7 + 3*x) *log(5)
54 ------------------ 3 (-7 + 3*x) *log(5)
